The social volunteer role was super fun. I really enjoyed getting the guests and volunteers together for the weekly activities. The hostel itself is great in a fantastic location. The perks of a free stay in a hostel in the mountains plus discounted surf lessons were a bonus!

I can't explain how grateful I am for this volunteering experience at the hostel. I had the best time and was really lucky with the amazing group I spent the month with, I wouldn't change a thing! The only small downside is that there are cockroaches, but the hostel is actively working on solving this issue. Apart from that, I would recommend this place to everyone. Thank you so much for the wonderful time I could spend here and to all the volunteers, I truly had the best experience! 💗 thank you
